Why not? ODE by definition doesn't modify the operating system in the first place, in fact it will still be the best option for BD backups (do note that, above 4.6something, ODEs are partially blocked and you will need some "swap disc" setup I don't know much about)
@walkerloy791 You will only be able to play disc PS3 games on HAN that have an update and even with update some games simply won't work or involve a pretty cumbersome setup.
On the other hand you can play PS2, PS1 and PSP injects but the built in emulator isn't that good so only some games will work.
There are other cosmetic changes you can do to your PS3 like different bootup logo.
You can resign current disc games to work with your current setup and the new HAN installation process is even more time wasting than the one you would have atm.
I would recommend to not update to 4.82 as there might be a slim chance that the current self replacer @esc0rtd3w is working on could bring back swapless gaming, but as it only supports 4.81 and 4.82 the risk to try it out is too big imo.
